Mikel Edward Brady, 23, of Durham, was arrested in connection with the shooting of Trooper Michael L. Potts, 42. Potts was in fair condition Tuesday afternoon following two surgeries, said said Kieran Shanahan with the state Department of Public Safety.

Potts was shot four times around 6 p.m. during a traffic stop at U.S. 70 and Cheek Road, Shanahan said. The shots hit each hand, his right shoulder and the right side of his face, and it was "miraculous" Potts survived, Shanahan said.

Brady was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury. Brady, who's also wanted on warrants in Vermont, was pulled over for not wearing a seat belt, Shanahan said.

A total of four people were taken into custody for questioning, WNCN reported. No other identities have been released, though the investigation is ongoing.

Potts joined the Highway Patrol in 2001. Gov. Pat McCrory went to the hospital after his State of the State address Monday to see Potts.
